Launch MFD - v. 1.6.6 for Orbiter 2016 2018-07-07

Launch MFD calculates the appropriate launch azimuth, insertion profile (SSTO and 2-stage only) and time to launch a spaceship to intercept a satellite or a specific orbit, for example such that is described as parking orbit before ejection in TransX. Many physical influences are taken into account to provide you with a good accuracy of the calculations. After the launch, the MFD shows you an orientation of ship, that is needed to reach the described orbit. The orientation is adaptive in regard to the current situation in means of position and velocity. You can also use an included PID autopilot, which follows the provided orientation smoothly (although blindly). All these features may be used simultaneously and independently for each ship in the simulation.The MFD also allows to perform a Direct Ascent manoeuvre, ie. a mostly automated method of intercepting a satellite right at the moment of orbital insertion, without the need of performing orbital manouvers. Demo clip, tutorial clip (available also as Orbiter playback in the package)
